I have a Microsoft Fingerprint Reader. Can anyone tell me if it will work in Linux or even better Porteus? My son got it for me about 5 or 10 years ago I can't remember. Here is the link to it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Microsoft-Finge ... SwDuJWvoFK I have never use it but I did open the package to look at it.
I would like to use for my password for Porteus for login.

Microsoft Fingerprint Reader
I just like Slackware because I think it teach you about Linux to build packages where Ubuntu is like Windows you just install programs you want.

Re: Microsoft Fingerprint Reader
In this link https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Softwa ... d_devices/ I found it and I mark with this "* ".
I might be able to get it to work. If I do I won't have to type in a password.

I would startlooking for a driver for that device. There is a "fprintd" in linux that should work for you. Googling you will find it. I guess you can make a Porteus module out of it....

Those are Debian packages and yes, download them and convert them using deb2xzm. They should work in Porteus. Try it , for shure fprintd is a daemon that should be started first, I guess with a rc.xxxx in etc. or so. Then a main application should do the rest.
